Look into my eyes, what do you see?
Giggles – smiles
Little toes – a little nose
Look into my eyes, what do you see?
Curiosity – adventure
Fast feet – pulling the cat’s tail
Look into my eyes, what do you see?
School – homework
Makeup – boys- phone calls all night long
Look into my eyes, what do you see?
First crush- First date
First kiss- First heartbreak
Look into my eyes, what do you see?
Special someone – love at first sight
Dinners for 2 – relaxing in the moonlight
Look into my eyes, what do you see?
Broken spirit – bruises, heartache
My fault – I’ll do better
Look into my eyes, what do you see?
Fear – loneliness
Despair – no one cares
Look into my eyes, what do you see?
Forgotten – withdrawn
Utter darkness – suicide attempt
Look into my eyes, what do you see?
New beginnings – spirit set free
Strength – endless possibilities
Look into my eyes, what do you see?
The heart of a survivor
Inspiration to others – My sister, my friend
